Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$111.90

-0.5% from spot

The base scenario establishes a fair value of $111.90, reflecting an implied return of -0.5% relative to $112.51 (as of 2026-10-02) with an assigned probability of 55.0%. This trajectory assumes steady corporate booking momentum, continuous fleet upgauging via incoming Airbus and Boeing deliveries, and core unit cost inflation held within guided ranges. Operating margins stabilize near mid-cycle levels, and capital reinvestment gradually moderates, enabling free cash flow conversion to progress toward management goals. Disconfirmation would occur if passenger revenue growth drops below historical expansion rates or if operating margins compress toward industry baselines by FY2027.

Consolidated revenue growth moderates to steady mid-single digits as industry capacity normalizes.
Operating margins sustain mid-cycle levels supported by premium passenger cabin upselling.
Capital reinvestment rates step down from peak fleet delivery phases toward maintenance levels.
Free cash flow conversion expands steadily toward intermediate management targets.

Bull20%

Price target

$179.36

+59.4% from spot

The bull scenario indicates a potential value of $179.36, offering an upside return of 59.4% from $112.51 (as of 2026-10-02) with an assigned probability of 20.0%. In this outcome, premium passenger mix accelerates rapidly with incoming fuel-efficient aircraft, while international route yields achieve record profitability. Core unit cost discipline outperforms expectations, lifting operating margins into low double digits and driving cash conversion toward high-end targets. Accelerated free cash flow generation facilitates substantial debt reduction, securing an investment-grade rating and compressing credit spreads. Disconfirmation would appear if aircraft delivery delays stall gauge expansion or if leisure yields deteriorate.

Premium passenger cabin capacity and business traveler yields outpace standard domestic travel growth.
Operating margins reach low double digits driven by low incremental seat-mile costs on modern aircraft.
Free cash flow conversion reaches upper management milestones, accelerating balance sheet deleveraging.
